Implementation

Most accessibility concerns should be covered by implementing health index per our guidelines. You can double-check your implementation by ensuring the following:

  • Health index should not be interactive or keyboard-focusable
  • Health index should be placed in a context that makes its purpose clear to all users—with and without assistive technologies
  • Health index should communicate its grade both visually and to assistive tech

Test your experience with a keyboard and screen reader to help verify these accessibility conformance checks. <rh-health-index> should present to assistive technology using the meter role and corresponding ARIA attributes to communicate to assistive technology. Inspect this element using the DevTools Accessibility Tree to see each value.
